GARDINER.

The prices, last agreed upon at the shoe
factory, expired last June, but work contin.
ues as usual. Recently new scale has been
submitted by the workman which differs but
slightly from the last, which the Kimball
Bros have under consideration but no decis-
ion has been received up to the time of writ
ing. As the Messrs X. realize the fact that
they have as faithful, and orderly crew as
ever entered factory, and the employees
know, from experience their employers to be
high minded, liberal men, no fears are enter
tanned but all matters between the
parties interested will be smicably
adjusted, and affairs at this i'm
portant place of industry move on in the
future, as they have in the past, with pleasure
and profit to all.

CROPS Of MARYLAND.


"How did you and Mr.. Williamson euioy
your recent trip to Maryland?" asked the
journal man of Mr.. W. Il. Reid the well
known Augusta book binder.
"Very much indeed. 1t is beautiful and
also very fertile State, and l can mos.
earnestly advise any young men who has
the Western fever not to go any further than
Maryland
What do you consider its advantages to
be?"
"WeH the region / visited was on the
Choptank river. Before went there had
never heard of this river, or if had did not
think it more than a stream. was much
surprised however to see six steamers plying
on this river weekly and vessels drawing
eighteen feet of water carrying freights of
fruit and grain"
How is the land in that section?"
"On the surface in the valley near the river
the appearance is somewhat sandy, but below
the surface is rich sub-soil. Back in the
country ways the sandy surface disappears
and we have nothing but strong, rich, loamy
soil. All of this land is very fertile. pro-

and forty bushels of corn to the
acre. One man in that section raised
2400 bushels of corn on thirty acres OF land,
an average of so bushels to the acre.
"How is it with wheat?"
"This is on excellent crop there. One
man told me that he had received 1910 per
bushel one year for his wheat. As he had
5000 bushels he realized over $4,000 for that
seasons wheat crop"
Glow does the peach crop pay there?"

work in this industry outside of gathering the

sent to Baltimore 10000 baskets of peaches.

What Am 1 To Do.

The symptoms of Biliousness are unhappily
but toe well known. They differ in different
individuals to some extent. A Bilious man is
seldom breakfast eater. Too frequently,
alas, he has an excellent appetite for liquids
but none for solids of morning. His tongue
will hardly bear inspection at any time; if it
not white and furred, it is rough, at all events.
The digestive system is wholly out of order
aud Diarrhea or Constipation may be symp-
tom or the two may alternate. There are
often Hemorrhods or even loss OF blood
There may be gddiness and often headache
acidity or fatulence and tenderness in the pit
of the stomach To correct all this if not eff
feet cure try Green's August Flower, it
costs but trife and thousands attest its eff

1t is said that great indignation prevails in
Dexter-if it doesn't 1t ought to-over the
bsrhsrous libel on the Barron Homestead
which recently appeared in the Boston Globe.
1t was in the shape of wood cut, and
resembled the Barron residence about as
mnch as the capitol at Washington.
1t is evident that the enterprising
Globe having no engraving OF the 'Barron
Homestead" dug out the wood cut of some
Massachusetts school house and thought that
the people in Maine would be too green to
tell the difference. The real Barron residence
is very pretty and tasty little dwelling
but the Globe cut evidently came into that
Office with an advertisement for pills. Now
see here, dear Globe, if you have any regard
for your circulation in this State, don't, we
beg of you again impose such pictorial
falsehood upon the credulity OF the public.

The railroad sells ticket from Augusta

days for one dollar, and vice versa, but if the
holder of the ticket lies over one day the
regular fare of 70 cents is required, conse-
quently it costs the holder of the tickets rs
for the round trip. 1t seems as though this
should be changed, for as it now is the 70 sd
gets twenty five cents over the highest single

Publishers of Kenne6ec Journal:
GENTLEMEN | am greatly obliged for your
reference to me of your correspondents letter
in regard to Saturday excursion fare between
Augusta and Waterville, and such a way of
dong business can but harmonic affairs be-
tween the railroad and the people. In the
case mentioned however fail to see any in.
justice and l think you will agree
with me on learning the facts
which are as follows; Our reg
ular fare between Augusta and Wateryille is
seventy five cents each way, equal both ways to
81 so. Now to encourage travel more partic-
ularlv for the Saturday evening train to
Watersille and early Monday morning train,
sell on Saturdays a ticket limited for return
Monday at one dollar, which must strike you
as a liberal arrangement We of course, do not
compel people to buy them and anyone not
intending to return Monday can, of course
get regular tickets.
Your correspopdent although he NAV have
once or more failed to return Monday which
was not our fault and thus lost as he claims
twenty FIVE cents, neglects to say anything
about the vast number who have al
you may say, saved fifty cents by this ar
rangement. and would say that this Is the
first complaint we have received during the
six years such tickets have been sold, th'
majority being disposed to praise rather thar
to censure. Communications herewith re
turned. Yours respectfully,
PAYsoN TUCKER, Gen'. Manager.
